162: 3 Things I Wish Small Business Owners Knew About their Marketing

This might be the most actionable, helpful episode of The Found Podcast I've ever released. Not kidding. In today's episode, we dive in to the three things I wish all small business owners knew about marketing in order to get people to take action. And I don't tell you to adopt any short-term trends or spend a bajillion dollars to do it. Nope, we focus on three key components:

People do business with people
You choose the trends, don't let the trends choose you
Everyone has a story to tell

In each of these components we drill down further to help you create a marketing strategy that fits you, your audience, and your business, and we use examples to help you take action just in time for summer. This episode also comes with plenty of resources, so be sure to tap the links below to access my 100 Story Starters downloadable tool and the slide deck that accompanies this information. And if you want the help of a strategic marketing expert to walk through this process on behalf of your business, reach out at molly@mollyknuthmedia.com to discuss a 1:1 Strategy Session to give you a clear plan for your 2024 marketing.
